Weather Closings, Cancellations and Delays

Due to freezing temperatures and rain, there's a sheet of ice on many roads, streets, bridges and overpasses in and around Lufkin and Nacogdoches, a number of schools and other agencies are closed today. If there is any good news in this, it's that there probably won't be any rolling power blackouts today. ERCOT - the Electricity Reliability Council of Texas - is, however, urging people to set their thermostats as low as they can to conserve power. Here's the current list of weather-related closings, cancellations and delays.

Angelina College — All classes and activities on campus and at all off-campus teaching centers for Thursday evening have been canceled. The campus and off-campus will also be closed on Friday. Saturday activities will be held as scheduled.

Angelina County court-at-law #2 docket call — Docket call has been rescheduled from 9 a.m. Friday to 9 a.m. on March 2.

Apple Springs ISD — Classes canceled Friday.

Blood Center of East Texas — Will close at 3 p.m. Thursday and reopen at 10 a.m Friday.

Diboll ISD — Classes canceled Friday. All afterschool activities for Thursday and Friday have been canceled.

Law enforcement agencies say people should stay home and off the roads today, unless they just absolutely have to go somewhere. Those who must be out are urged to drive slow and be on the lookout for ice, especially on bridges and overpasses.
